Follow Builders is a conversational AI skill that monitors top AI builders on X and YouTube podcasts, remixing their content into digestible summaries delivered to messaging apps.
The tool solves the problem of information overload by curating content from a fixed set of sources—26 AI builders on X, six AI podcasts, and official company blogs from Anthropic and Claude—then summarizing and delivering it on a schedule you choose. Rather than following influencers who repackage existing ideas, it focuses on researchers, founders, product managers, and engineers actively building products. The summaries are generated by AI and delivered as daily or weekly digests to Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, email, or in-chat, available in English, Chinese, or bilingual format.
Adoption is straightforward for users already working within Claude Code or OpenClaw agents. Setup is conversational—you tell the agent how often you want digests, what language you prefer, and where to send them, with no configuration files or API keys required. The curated source list updates automatically, so you always receive summaries from the latest builders and podcasts without manual intervention. If you want to adjust how summaries are written, you can either ask the agent conversationally to change the tone or focus, or edit plain-English prompt files directly in the `prompts/` folder for more granular control. This approach suits developers and researchers who want to stay informed about what builders in AI are actually doing and saying, without the noise of general tech commentary.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with the core use case. The project maintains a curated list of sources that is updated centrally, ensuring all users benefit from additions without individual configuration. Customization is designed to be accessible through conversation first, with direct file editing available as a fallback for users who prefer that approach. The tool is built to integrate with existing agent platforms rather than operate as a standalone service.
